Samba includes the smbclient binary, which, among other things, allows you to
send a message to any Windows machine running winpopup.

i cant seem to get my terminal adapter to connect to my isp useing both
b-channels.
my isp uses a standard text login prompt to establish a ppp connection.
im able to connect with the standard pppscripts that are produced after
running pppsetup
but when i add '&3830203' after 'atd3830203' it doesnt dial out of the
second b channel and it will
not establish a ppp conncection. every thing is running great except for
that.
ive found little info on straight text login and isdn. everything ive read
has to deal with pap, chap and ms-chap
i called my isp and they confirmed that its just straight text.
any ideas

The last line in /etc/init.d/network says:
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
I don't understand, what this
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] &&
at the beginning of the line does. Could anybody explain?
Thanks a lot!

mars_nwe is a netware 3.x emulator for linux that does work. it is a
little tricky to install. All the MS windows or novell clients software
works fine. it does file and print sharing without difficulty.
mars_nwe is available in redhat and turbolinux, and is available at
sunsite.edu

Subject: Caching nameserver causes delay in sending mail
Date: 5 Jan 1999 21:57:15 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Steve Snyder)
When sending mail on my RedHat Linux v5.2 system there is a 40 - 45 second
delay before the mail is actually sent. Receiving mail on the same system
is all but instantaneous.
This machine is the server for a small LAN. The delay is seen whether the
mail client is on a different machine or if the sender and recipient both
have accounts on the server. The delay period is the same regardless of
the client or of the originating operating system. (In Pine, running
on the server itself, for instance, 0% sent is shown during the delay.)
This server, corona.snydernet.lan, has dial-up Internet access. I
discovered today that no delay is seen if an Internet connection has been
established. I concluded that the delay is the timeout of trying to
contact my IPS's nameserver while no connection exists.
This is what my /etc/resolv.conf looks like (I added the leading spaces
for clarity):
search corona.snydernet.lan snydernet.lan
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 199.3.65.1
That last IP address is my ISP's nameserver. If I remove that nameserver
entry, the delay is still seen in sending mail. Sigh.
Note that I'm not running a nameserver, which is why there's no reference
to it in /etc/resolv.conf. My name resolution is done soley through the
/etc/hosts file. I am running a caching nameserver, caching the data
gotten from my ISP while connected.
My new conclusion: the delay in sending mail is due to the attempted
lookup of corona.snydernet.lan in the cache. Sure enough, if I shut down
named, the delay is gone.
Anyone have any thoughts as to how I can have a caching nameserver *and*
no delay in sending mail?
Thanks.

Subject: changing linux passwds with dos-clients
Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 16:43:24 +0100
hi there!
I am putting up a Linux-box for doing eMail-services and (in future)
fileshare-services (e.g. using samba). Since in our LAN there are almost
only DOS-Clients, I wondered how it is possible for users to change
their passwords, without an introduction to something like telnet and
simple un*x or DOS shell commands.
I use Novell Netware, which I like to discard in a reasonable amount of
time.
Is there any kind of Software (GUI with >= Win3.1x) for doing this kind
of job? (or any HOWTO?)
I am using SuSE Linux 6.0 (I think this is a Slackware derivate, isn't
it?)
regards, ingo.

And finally, on the Windows side remove all references to IPX and NetBEUI.
You want a plain-vanilla TCP/IP only network. My Linux box kept dropping
off and things were generally flaky as all get-out until someone suggested
killing IPX -- it's been rock solid ever since. The Windows apps don't mind
at all -- they've been more solid as well!

Hi there
I would like to setup a faxserver on my linux box so that my M$ Winblows
mashines can send faxes.
Is there a good program/server for this. I would prefer if it worked
something like M$ Exchange faxing with the print command, maybe using Samba.
Is this possible?

Subject: Problem building C-Kermit on Linux (Redhat) 5.2
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 15:51:39 -0000
I've downloaded the latest version of kermit (release 192) for linux from
mit.columbia.edu, and tried to build it under Linux on my PC.
I'm getting all sorts of compilation errors when I try to build (using make
linux) to do with duplicate symbols. The only reference to expected
compilation errors I can find in the documentation, is to do with the file
serial.h - but my errors are different from this (and I've tried the fix
suggested for this - which doesn't make any difference).
Has anyone had a similar problem - who can offer me advice on what to do ?
Output from make linux:
